The Canon Female Photojournalist Award of €8000 (approx. $9000 U.S.) will be given to Catalina Martin-Chico to support her project about women members of Colombian guerilla group FARC. That work will be shown at Visa Pour L’Image in 2018. The award, which is sponsored by ELLE Magazine, honors women photographers for outstanding contributions to photojournalism.
